Grand Central Market in Los Angeles boasts an impressive 100-year legacy of feeding multi-generations of Angelenos. Having opened in 1917, the market has grown into a bustling food hall constantly buzzing with a combination of innovative vendors and hungry patrons always searching to satisfy their appetites.

Naturally, we had to check it out on Foodbeast terms for our Neighborhood Eats series, presented by Hansen’s. To help us eat our way through this legendary market, we enlisted the help of our friend and fellow foodie, Soy Nguyen. Soy’s no stranger to the food scene, having built up an impressive Instagram following on her @FoodWithSoy account, where she documents tons of delicious eats along her exciting adventures in Southern California.

One of Grand Central’s most recognized vendors, DTLA Cheese, offers the perfect amount of cheesy and savory. Soy ordered DTLA’s Ham & Cheese Sandwich, which we all know is a great combo. Still, there’s nothing more epic than a super stretchy, gooey cheese pull, and Soy made that a priority.

Let's stay in touch! We'll keep you posted on events, new vendor openings, special offers, seasonal activities, and all the rest. Don't worry: we won't go crazy with the messages—once a week, max—and we'll never share your email with any other party.
